Chapter Seven

Cole stripped off his shirt and tossed it in the hamper in his closet. He’d already removed his boots and socks. Today had been productive. The hangar stood ready for the new helo, and Abe was adjusting to his new situation. Once the security system had been installed and tested at the lab, he’d felt easier about JL being there every day. The danger still lurked out there—he could feel it—but he was taking every possible precaution to keep her safe. But it was time to put all that aside for a moment and focus just on the two of them. Tonight, he planned to take both of their minds off everything except right now.

When the two of them reconnected months ago, he wasn’t looking for anything more than a nice but casual relationship. Still restless after two tours in Afghanistan and trying to settle in at the ranch, he hadn’t exactly figured out his future. Then he ran into JL, and as their relationship grew and developed, his life seemed to settle around him. She centered him as no one had ever before, chasing away the demons that seemed to follow snipers around and giving his life a purpose.

He knew she had strong feelings for him. At least he thought she did. She gave every indication that was the case. He didn’t know if her reluctance to take things to a more permanent level had to do with the tension surrounding her experiment or his sense of something dark she kept hidden away. Something plaguing her he hadn’t been able to coax out of her. Every time he brought it up, she very cleverly steered the conversation away from it.

Forget about it tonight. Enjoy what you have. Make things so great for her there won’t be any question of what comes next.

She’d let her hair grow since she got home. At work, she pulled it into a ponytail or a messy bun on top of her head, but otherwise she wore it down. He loved the way it shimmered and danced below her shoulders, like now when she brushed it. When the light caught it, he thought it looked like a cascade of golden threads. Just sifting his fingers through it made him hard.

Still in his jeans and boxers, he moved behind her, pressing his bare chest against her body. God, she smelled incredible. The honeysuckle scent of the lotion she used filled his senses. Maybe he’d plant a ton of it in the back and snip off a piece every day. He was filled with an intense need to possess her, to stamp himself on her indelibly. Hold her heart as well as her body. He would make it his personal business to prevent any harm to her. To guard against the danger his instincts kept telling him lurked out there.

Very gently, he touched his lips to the smooth silk of her shoulder, trailing them to the slender column of her neck. She always tasted so delectable, like the best treat in the world.
